Also called sasarako bame 簓子羽目. A traditional
type of weather board used to cover exterior walls. The overlapping siding
is applied horizontally to the framework with battens called sasarako
簓子 notched into the back. The battens allow the siding to fit against the
framework snuggly and are placed vertically about 30cm apart. The notches
are called hakizami 羽刻. When sasarako jitami and battens are
used for fencing, the fence is called sasarakobei 簓子塀.
